LOTR wins! Harry Potter: nice.<BR>Though, if you see the base of these two movies... in the case of Harry Potter they improved the not too exciting story by great pictures and some computer effects.<BR>The "problem" with LOTR is: you just can`t put such a great book into a movie without receiving a film that has definitely lost sth. Shorter said: I loved the books and I liked the film, though you actionall can`t put both onto the same level. Too many things got lost (they let out even Tom Bombadil!!). Charakters remain kind of empty and s.o. who watches the movie without having read the books could have difficulties to distinguish between the persons and to follow the plot.<BR> I mean: is there anyone who liked the film better than the books? I would be really interested in his/her sight of the things. G`night!
